Proven Experience That Puts Students and Teachers First.
LCSD1 Board of Trustees · Election Day Nov 3, 2026
Every child deserves an education that paves the way to success, dignity, and self-reliance — and thirty years in our schools have prepared me to help deliver it for LCSD1.
What this campaign is about
A few clear priorities
Fiscal effectiveness
Responsible resource allocation, cost-effective operations, and careful decisions that protect quality education.
Empowering stakeholders
Listen to parents, students, teachers, staff, administrators, taxpayers, and community partners with respect and respond with transparency. Parents are the primary decision makers for their children.
Instructional excellence
High expectations, strong curriculum, quality educators, and data-informed decisions that improve student achievement.
